Purplebint's Diary

[Purplebint]

I've been having a slow weight loss month as well Seacrest, I think a lot of us have

I eat quorn occasionally when it's on offer and cheaper than meat, that's not very often though. I do use a lot of soya mince.

Tonight's dinner -

Chilli lime chicken stir fry with rice vermicelli and kale chips

I'm also making a batch of frozen fat free cherry yoghurt to scoop into half syn icecream cones later/tomorrow

 

[Purplebint]

Cherry fat free yoghurt being frozen. Homemade fat free yoghurt, whizzed up with some kefir milk, frozen cherries and a couple of frozen bananas. In a metal bowl in the freezer being stirred thoroughly every 20 minutes so it doesn't crystallize. Tastes good already *licks spoon*

Your cycling pics look lovely. I am going to take my bike out tomorrow. I think the tyres need blowing up and as I do not have pump will ask a neighbour to lend me hers.

 

[Purplebint]

I really do love my bike, I'm so very glad I finally decided to get over my phobia and learn to ride last year

My cherry frozen yoghurt worked out really well!

i tired freezing a muller light and it turned out really icy, might try again and try stirring.

 

[Purplebint]

It's definitely the stirring that helps I might splash out on an icecream churner or the attachmenty bit for my kenwood for it in the future but it's not too hard to do it with the freezer really.

Woohoo! Well done

 

[cheekychinchilla]

A 4lb loss is amazing!! Do you think your body has caught up with all the extra exercise now? Always found that my losses were non-existent when I first start exercising properly. Nice when it catches up tho

 

[Polished]

[Alycyn1980]

Well done on the loss. Thats amazing Pics are looking good too - just remembered to look at them on the comp as phone keeps them as wee thumbnails - you must be so happy with them. Good luck with the next week :grouphugg:

 

[Purplebint]

Thanks all Hello Polished *waves*

I'm hoping that it's the exercise finally kicking in and I get a few decent losses now. All of the yo-yoing of the last month was pretty disheartening even though I've been losing inches. 3lbs to go for my 5 stone shiny now

Hiya jst a wee question 4u. I have attempted ur mcmuffin style muffins but they NEVER work, always seem 2 stay soggy. How do u get them looking like muffins as u have on ur recipe page?! I love the taste but fed up them turning out like omelettes!!! I use silicone rings.

Thanks

[Purplebint]

Hmm, mine seem to just work out ok. You could try leaving out the water completely? Just mix the oats + eggs and flavourings and see if they hold better for you? My rosti rings are metal rather than silicone but they should work the same.
